Noke on Wednesday night announced via Twitter that he’s been tapped to face Tom Lawlor, who had been expected to meet Falcao in Brazil. UFC officials later confirmed the switch.

Instead, Lawlor will head to Wisconsin, where he’ll face Noke at UFC on Versus 5, which takes place Aug. 14 at Milwaukee’s Bradley Center.

The matchup is expected to take place on the evening’s preliminary card.

Lawlor (7-3 MMA, 3-2 UFC) looks to build on the strength of a unanimous-decision win over Patrick Cote at this past October’s UFC 121 event. The much-needed victory snapped a two-fight losing streak for the former cast member of the “Ultimate Fighter 8″ after Lawlor suffered back-to-back losses to Joe Doerksen and Aaron Simpson.

As the UFC 189 tour made its last stop in Dublin, featherweight champ Jose Aldo was met with a torrent of abuse from the Irish fans. It might have been unpleasant, but it might also have been just what he needed.
